Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<First Example>
First, specific usage scenes of the present embodiment will be described. For example, when the driver wants to put the passenger on the vehicle before the driver, conventionally, the driver passes the portable device to the passenger, or the driver operates the portable device in accordance with the timing when the passenger gets on, etc. It took time and effort. In particular, when the driver has a baggage, it is troublesome to put the baggage to take out the portable device. In this embodiment, if the gesture entry function is enabled by operating the portable device in advance, it is not necessary to hand over the portable device to the passenger, and it is necessary to operate the portable device in accordance with the timing when the passenger rides. Disappears.

Further, it is assumed that the user leaves the vehicle and goes shopping at a shopping center or the like, and then goes to the vehicle with a load. If the gesture entry function is enabled by handheld device operation with a baggage placed at the entrance of a shopping center, etc., opening / closing bodies such as sliding doors and trunks can be performed by performing actions (gestures) when they arrive at the vehicle. It can be opened and there is no need to put luggage and operate the door handle. Particularly when it is raining, it is convenient because the opening / closing body can be opened smoothly.
With reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 3, the opening-closing body control system 100 in a present Example is demonstrated. The opening / closing body control system 100 includes an opening / closing body 2 provided in the vehicle 1, a sensor 3 that detects a user's operation, and a control device 10 that controls opening / closing of the opening / closing body 2. Furthermore, the mobile device 20 includes a portable device 20 that is carried by the user of the vehicle 1, receives an operation from the user of the vehicle 1, and performs wireless communication with the control device 10.

  The opening / closing body 2 may be not only a door (including a slide door) of the vehicle 1 on which a person gets on and off, but also a rear door, a trunk, etc. for taking in and out a window and luggage. The sensor 3 may be any sensor that can detect an action (gesture) such as a human gesture or a hand gesture within the gesture detection range. For example, the sensor 3 may be an optical imaging sensor such as a CCD camera or a beam scanning target. It may be a laser radar to be captured, an infrared sensor or a proximity sensor. The sensor 3 is provided around the opening / closing body 2 and its periphery, and detects the movement of a person existing on the side or rear of the vehicle 1.

  If the gesture detection range is too narrow, the user's action cannot be detected. If the gesture detection range is too wide, erroneous detection and crime prevention problems occur. Therefore, an optimal range is appropriately set in advance. Further, a predetermined operation to be detected may be defined, and when the predetermined operation is detected, the predetermined operation may be caused. Here, the predetermined operation in the vehicle is, for example, an unlocking operation of an opening / closing body or a door. Then, even when the user's hands are blocked by luggage, the sensor 3 can detect the movement of the user's feet and the like to open the opening / closing body 2 such as the door or trunk of the vehicle 1 without using the hand. Can do.

  The control device 10 includes a reception unit 11 that receives a wireless signal from the portable device 20, a transmission unit 12 that transmits a wireless signal to the portable device 20, and an opening / closing body control unit 13 that controls opening and closing of the opening / closing body 2 of the vehicle 1. And the control part 14 which controls transmission / reception with the portable device 20, the opening / closing body control part 13 and the sensor 3. The receiving unit 11 receives a function activation signal transmitted from a portable device 20 that operates the vehicle 1 described later. The portable device 20 includes a portable device receiver 23 that receives a signal from the transmitter 12 of the vehicle 1, a portable device transmitter 22 that transmits a function activation signal and the like to the receiver 11 of the vehicle 1, and a user's An operation unit 21 that receives an operation and a display unit 24 that displays information are provided.

  When receiving an operation from the user to the operation unit 21, the portable device 20 activates the sensor 3 of the vehicle 1 from the portable device transmission unit 22 and transmits a function activation signal that activates the gesture detection function. The operation unit 21 of the portable device 20 may be a switch such as a push button that accepts a user operation, and the type and number of the operation unit 21 are not particularly limited. For example, as described later, a dedicated switch for enabling the sensor 3 may be used, or one switch may be shared for a plurality of other functions.

  When the operation unit 21 is a dedicated switch for activation, the portable device includes an activation operation unit for transmitting a function activation signal. According to this, since the transmission of the function enabling signal from the portable device is subject to the operation by the user, it can be executed with confirmation of the user's intention, and an undesired opening operation can be prevented. When the enabling operation unit is shared for other functions, the operation unit is the same as the operation unit for transmitting other signals. According to this, an easy-to-use portable device can be provided by providing, for example, an operation unit for unlocking and an operation unit common to an operation unit for remotely starting the engine.

  In addition, the operation unit 21 has a function of setting a predetermined time that is a time during which the gesture detection function is valid, which is measured by the control device 10 on the vehicle 1 side and the portable device 20 itself, which will be described later. The operation unit 21 may include a dedicated switch for setting a predetermined time or may be shared with an operation unit that transmits a function activation signal. For example, the predetermined time may be transmitted to the vehicle 1 side at the same time as the predetermined time setting due to the difference in the number of operations to one operation unit 21, or a function activation signal is transmitted when one operation unit 21 is short-pressed. However, in the case of a long press, a predetermined time may be set. In this way, by allowing the user to change the predetermined time during which the gesture detection function is enabled, various predetermined times can be set according to the situation, thereby further improving convenience.

  The display unit 24 displays the remaining time of a predetermined time after the portable device transmission unit 22 transmits the function activation signal. For example, when the user sets the predetermined time for which the gesture detection function is valid as 30 seconds, the portable device 20 transmits setting information for the predetermined time from the portable device transmission unit 22 to the control device 10 of the vehicle 1. The setting information for the predetermined time may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the portable device 20. The portable device 20 displays a value obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from 30 seconds on the display unit 24 after the user operates the operation unit 21 to transmit the function activation signal. After enabling the sensor 3 at a location away from the vehicle 1, the user or passenger knows the remaining time available for the gesture entry displayed on the display unit 24, so that it is within the gesture detection range in time. You can reach and take action.

  The control unit 14 on the vehicle 1 side controls transmission / reception with the portable device 20, the opening / closing body control unit 13 and the sensor 3, and counts a predetermined time from when the reception unit 11 receives the function activation signal. The determination part 15 which determines whether time passed is provided. When receiving the function enabling signal and the setting information for a predetermined time from the portable device 20, the receiving unit 11 notifies the control unit 14 of that. When receiving the setting information for a predetermined time from the receiving unit 11, the control unit 14 stores the setting information in a storage unit (not shown), and the determination unit 15 measures time based on the setting information. Further, when receiving the function enabling signal from the receiving unit 11, the control unit 14 activates the sensor 3 so that the sensor 3 can perform gesture detection. The sensor 3 can detect the operation only until the determination unit 15 determines that the predetermined time has elapsed after the sensor 3 is in a state where the gesture can be detected, and the sensor 3 stops. Accordingly, the predetermined time counted by the portable device 20 and the determination unit 15 substantially defines the time for the sensor 3 to detect the operation. If the time is too short, the user's operation cannot be detected. Since problems occur in detection and crime prevention, an optimal time is set as appropriate.

  The opening / closing body control unit 13 performs an operation detected by the sensor 3 after the reception unit 11 receives the function enabling signal, that is, after the sensor 3 is activated, and before the determination unit 15 determines that the predetermined time has passed. Based on this, the opening operation of the opening / closing body 2 is controlled. That is, the opening / closing body control unit 13 controls the opening operation of the opening / closing body 2 based on the operation detected by the sensor 3 within a predetermined time after receiving the function enabling signal. In this way, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to unnecessary operations by limiting the detection of operations within a predetermined time. In addition, since the gesture detection function can be validated from a location away from the vehicle 1 using the portable device 20, the detection of motion can be validated when a desired passenger enters the vehicle. Moreover, since it is not necessary for the sensor 3 to always detect the operation, power is saved on the vehicle side.

  Further, the opening / closing body control unit 13 may perform control so as to open only the opening / closing body 2 provided with the sensor 3 that detects the user's movement or the surrounding opening / closing body 2. Thus, it is possible to have high safety by limiting the opening / closing body that opens. The sensor 3 is provided for each opening / closing body 2, or one sensor 3 is provided on each side and rear side of the vehicle 1. When the sensor 3 is provided for each opening / closing body 2, the opening / closing body control unit 13 may open only the opening / closing body 2 provided with the sensor 3 that detects the operation. When one sensor 3 is provided on each side surface, the opening / closing body control unit 13 may open only the opening / closing body 2 on the side where the sensor 3 that detects the operation is provided. Moreover, when the opening / closing body 2 controls the opening operation in the locked state, it is preferable that the opening / closing body control part 13 of the control apparatus 10 opens after unlocking. According to this, even if the opening / closing body 2 is locked, the opening / closing body 2 can be opened by a single operation, and convenience is improved.

  The control unit 14 further includes an authentication unit 16 that authenticates the portable device 20, and the authentication unit 16 preferably authenticates the portable device 20 when the sensor 3 detects an operation. In this case, the portable device 20 includes a portable device receiver 23 that receives an authentication request signal from the transmitter 12 of the vehicle 1. The authentication unit 16 also authenticates the portable device 20 when receiving a function enabling signal from the portable device 20 and activates the sensor 3 only when the authentication is successful. The control unit 14 may open the opening / closing body 2 as it is when the sensor 3 detects the operation, but there is a certain time difference between the time when the function 3 is received and the time when the sensor 3 detects the operation. Therefore, it is preferable to authenticate the portable device 20 again when the sensor 3 detects an operation. It goes without saying that the authentication unit 16 may authenticate the portable device 20 at another timing.

  When the control unit 14 recognizes that the sensor 3 has detected an operation, the transmission unit 12 of the control device 10 transmits an authentication request signal for requesting authentication to the portable device 20 according to the control of the control unit 14. When the portable device receiver 23 receives the authentication request signal, the portable device transmitter 22 returns an authentication response signal including the preset authentication code of the portable device 20 to the receiver 11 of the vehicle 1. The receiving unit 11 transmits the received authentication code to the authentication unit 16. The authentication unit 16 determines whether or not the received authentication code is authentic, and if the authentication code is authentic, the control unit 14 opens the opening / closing body control unit 13. Give instructions. If it does in this way, since it can authenticate with respect to detection of the operation | movement used as the conditions of opening operation | movement, it can have high crime prevention property.

  A control method of the control device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that S in the flowchart means a step. As shown in the figure, the portable device 20 of the present embodiment includes a gesture entry permission switch for enabling the operation detection function as the operation unit 21.

  In S100, the user operates the gesture entry permission switch of the portable device 20. In S102, the receiving unit 11 of the control device 10 on the vehicle 1 side confirms whether or not to receive a function enabling signal. When the operation unit 21 of the gesture entry permission switch is operated, the portable device 20 transmits a function enabling signal from the portable device transmission unit 22.

  When the reception unit 11 receives the function enabling signal, the control unit 14 activates the sensor 3 in S104 so that the sensor 3 can detect the operation. At the same time when the control unit 14 activates the sensor 3, the determination unit 15 sets a predetermined time for the sensor 3 to detect the operation when the reception unit 11 receives the function enabling signal in S106. In S118, the determination unit 15 measures the predetermined time from when the reception unit 11 receives the function enabling signal, and determines whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed. Note that if the receiving unit 11 does not receive the function enabling signal in S102, the process ends without performing anything.

  During the predetermined time, the control unit 14 continues to confirm whether or not the sensor 3 detects an operation in S108. When the sensor 3 detects an operation, the transmission unit 12 transmits an authentication request signal to the portable device 20 in S110. Since the portable device 20 that has received the authentication request signal returns an authentication response signal including the set authentication code, the authentication unit 16 determines whether or not the returned authentication code is a regular authentication code in S112. That is, it is confirmed whether authentication of the portable device 20 is successful.

  When the authentication code returned by the authentication unit 16 is not valid, the control unit 14 returns from S118 to S108 and continues to check whether the sensor 3 detects the operation again until a predetermined time elapses. When the authentication code is valid and the authentication is successful, the opening / closing body control unit 13 opens the opening / closing body 2 in S114. When the opening / closing body 2 is opened, the control unit 14 stops the sensor 3 in S116 to prevent malfunction. Similarly, when the sensor 3 does not detect an operation within a predetermined time and the predetermined time has expired, the sensor 3 is similarly stopped. In this case, the control unit 14 may stop the detection function itself in the sensor 3, or the sensor 3 may perform detection but the control unit 14 may ignore the detection result from the sensor 3. In this case, it is preferable to stop energization of the sensor 3 because it leads to power saving on the vehicle side.

  A display method on the display unit 24 of the portable device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. When the user operates a gesture entry permission switch which is the operation unit 21 of the portable device 20 in S200, the portable device 20 transmits a function activation signal from the portable device transmission unit 22. Then, the portable device 20 confirms whether or not the set predetermined time has elapsed in S202. If the predetermined time has not yet elapsed, the display unit 24 of the portable device 20 has the remaining time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time after the portable device transmitting unit 22 transmits the function enabling signal from the set predetermined time in S206. Display time. Then, the display unit 24 continues to display until the remaining time becomes zero, and when the remaining time becomes zero, the display ends in S204.

  In addition, when the sensor 3 detects an operation in the vehicle 1 (YES in S108 in FIG. 2) and the portable device 20 is successfully authenticated (YES in S112 in FIG. 2), that is, in S114, the opening / closing body 2 is moved. Even when the opening operation is performed, the display unit 24 may end the display of the remaining time. Accordingly, the user can recognize that the opening / closing body 2 has been opened.

  Further, the portable device 20 receives from the control device 10 a function activation notification signal that activates the sensor 3 in the vehicle 1 and notifies that the gesture detection function is activated by the function activation signal transmitted by itself. The reception unit 23 may be provided, and the display unit 24 may display the remaining time after receiving the function activation notification signal. By doing this, even if the portable device 20 transmits a function activation signal, the vehicle 1 side may not accept the function activation signal. Therefore, in such a case, the remaining time is displayed and accepted by the user. It is possible to avoid misunderstanding that

  The display unit 24 displays a display indicating that the function is not activated in the vehicle 1 when the portable device 20 does not receive the function activation notification signal within a predetermined time after transmitting the function activation signal. You may make it perform. According to this, when the portable device 20 transmits a function activation signal and the vehicle 1 side does not accept the function activation signal, the fact that the vehicle 1 side has received the function activation signal is displayed to the user. Can be notified that is not accepted. When the remaining time is not 0, that is, when gesture entry is possible, a display indicating that the sensor 3 is valid may be performed on the vehicle side.

  In this way, since the owner of the portable device can activate the gesture entry function for a predetermined time by his / her own intention, it prevents the erroneous detection of the operation when the function is invalid and suppresses the power consumption of the vehicle. Can do. In addition, by displaying the remaining time of the predetermined time during which the gesture entry function can be used on the portable device, the holder can easily grasp whether the gesture entry function is valid, and the owner and the desired rider The person can reliably perform the operation within the predetermined time, and the convenience of the gesture entry function can be improved.

  Here, an example of how to display the remaining time in the portable device 20 will be described. FIG. 4 shows a portable device 20 having a display unit composed of three LEDs. When all three LEDs are lit (C), the portable device 20 in this figure indicates that the remaining time is 20 seconds or more and less than 30 seconds, and the leftmost and center two LEDs are lit. (B) indicates that the remaining time is 10 seconds or more and less than 20 seconds. In addition, the portable device 20 indicates that the leftmost LED is lit (A), indicating that the remaining time is less than 10 seconds. For example, when the remaining time is 5 seconds or less, the LED blinks to indicate that the remaining time is less than 10 seconds. You may display. The portable device 20 displays the remaining time by changing the number and pattern of these LEDs that are lit or blinking.

  Note that the above display method is an example, and the remaining time may be displayed as a number using a 7-segment display or the like, as in the portable device 20 ′ shown in FIG. 5. If the number is displayed and counted down every second, the remaining time can be displayed more finely.

  With reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, how the user sets the predetermined time during which the sensor 3 is activated will be described. When the user operates the gesture entry permission switch (Gesture) which is the operation unit 21 once, the portable device 20 sets the predetermined time to 10 seconds (A), and when operated twice, sets the predetermined time to 20 seconds (B). When the operation is performed three times, the predetermined time is set to 30 seconds (C), and at the same time, a function enabling signal is transmitted. The setting may be performed after the user enters the setting mode by, for example, pressing and holding the gesture entry permission switch.

In S304, the operation unit confirms whether or not the user operates the gesture entry permission switch again within 500 milliseconds. If there is no operation, the portable device 20 'sets the predetermined time to 10 seconds in S312, and transmits the predetermined time and the function activation signal to the vehicle 1 side.

  If there is an operation, the portable device 20 ′ has been operated twice in total in S <b> 306, so once the predetermined time is 20 seconds, the display unit also displays 20 seconds. In S308, the operation unit confirms whether or not the user operates the gesture entry permission switch again within 500 milliseconds. If there is no operation, the portable device 20 'sets the predetermined time to 20 seconds in S312, and transmits the predetermined time and the function activation signal to the vehicle 1 side.

  If there is an operation, the portable device 20 ′ has performed a total of three operations in S <b> 310, so that the predetermined time is 30 seconds and 30 seconds is also displayed on the display unit. In S312, the portable device 20 'transmits the predetermined time and the function activation signal to the vehicle 1 side. Thus, since the predetermined time is variable, various predetermined times can be set according to the situation, and convenience is further improved. In this embodiment, the predetermined time is only 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds, but it is preferable that the length of this time can be set freely by the user through the same operation. This further improves convenience.

<Second Example>
With reference to FIG. 7, the portable device in a present Example is demonstrated. In order to avoid repeated descriptions, the description will focus on differences from the above embodiment. The portable device in this embodiment is composed of two units, a first portable device 20A and a second portable device 30A. The first portable device 20A performs wireless communication with the control device 10A of the vehicle 1A and transmits a function activation signal, like the portable device in the above embodiment. The first portable device 20A may or may not include a display unit.

  The first portable device 20A also performs wireless communication with the second portable device 30A. The wireless communication method is not particularly limited, but Bluetooth (registered trademark), NFC (Near Field Communication), or the like may be used because wireless communication is performed at a relatively short distance. The second portable device 30A has a function of enabling wireless communication with the first portable device 20A, and includes an operation unit 31A and a display unit 32A. The second portable device 30A is typically a smartphone, and the operation unit 31A and the display unit 32A are realized by an application through a liquid crystal panel capable of variable display and touch operation.

  When the user operates the operation unit 31A of the second portable device 30A to transmit a function enabling signal, the second portable device 30A functions to the first portable device 20A by wireless communication when the operation unit 31A is operated. The fact that the operation of transmitting the enabling signal has been performed is transmitted. The first portable device 20A that has received the transmission actually transmits a function enabling signal to the vehicle 1A. In addition, when the operation unit 31A is operated, the second portable device 30A displays the remaining time of the set predetermined time on the display unit 32A. By displaying the remaining time on a smartphone (second portable device) with abundant display functions, it is possible to present with more expressive power. The function of the operation unit 31A can also realize an operation with excellent operability by an application on a smartphone.

  With reference to FIG. 8 (A), the method to set the valid time of the gesture entry function in 2nd portable device 30A of a smart phone is demonstrated. As shown in this figure, when the second portable device 30A of the smartphone is used, when setting the valid time of the gesture entry function, a display that is easier for the user to set is possible. The display unit 32A displays characters indicating that the valid time of the gesture entry function is 30 seconds, and displays a button for extending the valid time by 1 minute, a button for extending the valid time, and a reset button. Is done. These buttons are functional buttons that can be operated by touching with a finger. The user can extend the standard setting time of 30 seconds by operating these buttons. Needless to say, if there is a button for shortening by 10 seconds, the effective time can be shortened.

  FIG. 8B shows a display screen for the remaining time of the gesture entry. This display screen shows that the remaining time is 15 seconds, and also displays a button for extending the time by 10 seconds and a button for forcibly terminating the time. When the remaining time is several seconds after the gesture entry function is activated, the user can extend the time, or force the function to be terminated immediately with the activation time remaining. You may want to In such a case, if the user operates the 10 second extension button, the remaining time can be extended by 10 seconds. If the user operates the forced end button, the gesture entry function can be immediately terminated.

  In addition, even when the function enabling signal is transmitted by operating the operation unit 21A of the first portable device 20A, the remaining time can be displayed on the display unit 32A of the second portable device 30A. In this case, when the function enabling signal is transmitted from the first portable device 20A to the vehicle, the first portable device 20A notifies the second portable device 30A that the function enabling signal has been transmitted and receives the information. Alternatively, the second portable device 30A may automatically display the remaining time on the display unit 32A. Alternatively, when the user operates to display the remaining time with the operation unit 31A of the second portable device 30A, the second portable device 30A requests the first portable device 20A for the remaining time information, and obtains the remaining time. The information may be displayed.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the illustrated Example, The implementation by the structure of the range which does not deviate from the content described in each item of a claim is possible. That is, although the present invention has been particularly illustrated and described with respect to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention has been described in terms of quantity, quantity, and amount without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
